"It’s nearly impossible to pull me away from sizzling San Juan, but this nearby escape does it every time. A T+L It List standout and the Caribbean’s only Ayurvedic hotel, it takes wellness far beyond the basics as a popular Panchakarma retreat with complimentary daily yoga and a spa menu ranging from traditional massages to Chinese medicine–inspired treatments. Retreat or not, I’ll never get over the stunning treehouse suites, while larger estate-style rooms and a brand-new Airstream have me booking a return visit before the first stay even ends." - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.

"A wellness-focused boutique hideaway on Vieques perched atop one of the island’s highest hills, offering a mix of standalone cabins, houses, and multilevel treehouses with outdoor showers and kitchens. The property cultivates a tranquil, nature-forward vibe with a hidden garden pool, a small boutique and café, a yoga pavilion where guests can hear coquí frogs and fruit trees rustling, and a compact but diverse spa menu that spans Ayurvedic therapies, Western massages, and treatments inspired by Chinese traditional medicine." - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.

"Perched on a lush hilltop in the center of Vieques, Finca Victoria is a modern retreat intimately intertwined with nature. This 14-room boutique hotel offers accommodations ranging from tree houses and cabins to a vintage airstream, all with a healthy dose of breezy Caribbean style and available for short stays or longer ayurvedic retreat experiences. This property made T+L's list of the best new hotels in the world the year it debuted." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"It isn't a long drive from the hangar-cum-airport in Vieques, a tropical speck of an island off the east coast of Puerto Rico surrounded by teals, turquoises, and blues, to the stylish guesthouses at Finca Victoria. But wild horses often cross the narrow hillside road, and I had to stop several times to let them pass. By the time I arrived, I had missed breakfast. Luckily, Sylvia De Marco, Finca Victoria's friendly owner, had set a place for me in the alfresco vegan kitchen: Inside a Taíno bowl, a carved wooden vessel named after Puerto Rico's original Indigenous inhabitants, who were known for cultivating a variety of root vegetables, I found mashed pumpkin and malanga topped with caviar lentils cooked in cinnamon broth, avocado wedges, and cilantro grown on the property."
